The Scriptures provide numerous examples of individuals and nations who experienced failure, yet also highlight the possibility of restoration and forgiveness through faith and repentance.<br><br><b>Old Testament Examples</b><br><br>1. <b>Adam and Eve</b>: The first instance of failure in the Bible is found in the account of Adam and Eve. Their disobedience in the Garden of Eden led to the fall of humanity. <a href="/genesis/3-6.htm">Genesis 3:6</a> states, "When the woman saw that the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eyes, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom, she took the fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it." This act of disobedience resulted in separation from God and introduced sin into the world.<br><br>2. <b>King Saul</b>: Saul, the first king of Israel, is another example of failure due to disobedience to God's commands. In <a href="/1_samuel/15-22.htm">1 Samuel 15:22-23</a> , the prophet Samuel rebukes Saul, saying, "Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice, and attentiveness is better than the fat of rams. For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance is like the wickedness of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He has rejected you as king."<br><br>3. <b>The Israelites</b>: The nation of Israel frequently failed to uphold their covenant with God, turning to idolatry and other sins. <a href="/judges/2-11.htm">Judges 2:11-12</a> describes one such instance: "And the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD and served the Baals. They forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt. They followed and worshiped various gods of the peoples around them, and they provoked the LORD to anger."<br><br><b>New Testament Examples</b><br><br>1. <b>Peter's Denial</b>: The Apostle Peter's denial of Jesus is a poignant example of personal failure. Despite his earlier declarations of loyalty, Peter denied knowing Jesus three times. <a href="/luke/22-61.htm">Luke 22:61-62</a> recounts, "And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: 'Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.' And he went outside and wept bitterly."<br><br>2. <b>Judas Iscariot</b>: Judas's betrayal of Jesus is one of the most infamous failures in the New Testament. Despite being one of the twelve disciples, Judas chose to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. <a href="/matthew/26-14.htm">Matthew 26:14-16</a> states, "Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and asked, 'What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?' And they set out for him thirty pieces of silver. So from that time on Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus."<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The Bible teaches that failure is a part of the human condition due to the fallen nature of humanity. <a href="/romans/3-23.htm">Romans 3:23</a> declares, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." However, the Scriptures also emphasize God's grace and the possibility of redemption. 1 <a href="/john/1-9.htm">John 1:9</a> offers hope, stating, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."<br><br><b>Restoration and Redemption</b><br><br>Despite the reality of failure, the Bible consistently points to the possibility of restoration through repentance and faith in God. The account of King David, who repented after his sin with Bathsheba, illustrates this. <a href="/psalms/51-10.htm">Psalm 51:10</a> reflects David's heart of repentance: "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me."<br><br>In conclusion, while failure is a recurring theme in the Bible, it is met with the promise of forgiveness and new beginnings for those who turn to God in humility and faith.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp. & p. p.</I>) of Fail.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/1601b.htm"><span class="l">1601b. ekpipto -- to drop away, fig. to lose, become inefficient</span></a> <br><b>...</b> to lose, become inefficient NASB Word Usage <b>failed</b> (1), fall (1), fall away (1),<br> fallen (1), falls off (2), fell off (1), run aground (3). 1601a, 1601b. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/1601b.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 5k</font><p><a href="/greek/3756.htm"><span class="l">3756. ou, ouk, ouch -- not, no</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Definition not, no NASB Word Usage all* (1), any the less (2), before* (1), cannot<br> (1), cannot* (49), certainly* (1), ever* (3), except (1), <b>failed</b> (1), few* (1 <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/3756.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/2308.htm"><span class="l">2308. chadal -- to cease</span></a><br><b>...</b> root Definition to cease NASB Word Usage cease (10), ceased (8), ceasing (1), deserted<br> (1), fail (1), <b>failed</b> (1), gave (1), hold back (1), leave (5), let my <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/2308.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><p> <a href="/hebrew/5800a.htm"><span class="l">5800a. azab -- to leave, forsake, loose</span></a><br><b>...</b> root Definition to leave, forsake, loose NASB Word Usage abandon (3), abandoned<br> (11), abandons (1), commits (1), deserted (1), <b>failed</b> (1), fails (1), forsake <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/5800a.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><p> <a href="/hebrew/3808.htm"><span class="l">3808. lo -- not</span></a><br><b>...</b> 2), beyond (2), breathless* (1), cannot (81), cannot their nor (1), cannot* (47),<br> carefully (1), cheaply* (1), disregarded* (1), except (1), <b>failed</b>* (1), false <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/3808.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><p> <a href="/hebrew/3782.htm"><span class="l">3782. kashal -- to stumble, stagger, totter</span></a><br><b>...</b> to stumble, stagger, totter NASB Word Usage bring you down (1), bring down (1),<br> brought down (1), cast down (1), downfall (1), fail (1), <b>failed</b> (1), failing (1 <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/3782.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><p> <a href="/hebrew/5307.htm"><span class="l">5307. naphal -- to fall, lie</span></a><br><b>...</b> deserted (3), deserters (3), did (1), dismounted (1), divide by lot (2), divide<br> it by lot (1), downfall (1), dropped (1), fail (1), fail* (1), <b>failed</b> (4), fall <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/5307.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><p> <a href="/hebrew/3615.htm"><span class="l">3615. kalah -- to be complete, at an end, finished, accomplished <b>...</b></span></a><br><b>...</b> 1), destruction (1), determined (1), devoured (1), died (1), end (4), ended (3),<br> ending (1), exhausted (2), exterminated (1), fail (10), <b>failed</b> (1), fails (2 <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/3615.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><p> <a href="/hebrew/7919a.htm"><span class="l">7919a. sakal -- to be prudent</span></a><br><b>...</b> Word Usage act wisely (1), acts wisely (3), behaved himself wisely (1), comprehend<br> (1), consider (1), considers (2), discern (1), expert (1), <b>failed</b>* (1), gain <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/7919a.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><p> <a href="/hebrew/6275.htm"><span class="l">6275. atheq -- to move, proceed, advance</span></a><br><b>...</b> root Definition to move, proceed, advance NASB Word Usage become old (1), continue<br> (1), <b>failed</b> (1), moved (1), moved away (1), moves (1), proceeded (1 <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/6275.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/origen/origens_commentary_on_the_gospel_of_john/22_how_the_darkness_failed.htm"><span class="l">How the Darkness <b>Failed</b> to Overtake the Light.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Book II. 22.
